1. So much potential,

so much crap.

I remember when Meet The Press was actually a remarkable experience, and you learned a whole lot from listening to the show.

All these people, the same people, over and over and over.

Yeah, that "liberal media" sure does control the airwaves..........................

[stevedeshazer]

2. Yeah. Imagine learning something from Bill Kristol.

Or James Carville.

What, Mary Matalin wasn't available?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. Excuse me while I put this shotgun barrel in my mouth -

Peggy Noonan is going to start talking......................

[scarletwoman]

3. Ugh, Carville, that creepy snake-headed freak. Definitely sleeping in tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up.

4. I'll Tune In To See

Tim Kaine test Michael Steele's mental mettle
and see what fool thing that idiot will say this time.
Jim Webb should be good too.

[Arugula Latte]

5. Oh good gawd:

"Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace: Notre Dame professor Rev. Richard McBrien; National Director of Priests for Life Rev. Frank Pavone; Sen. Mitch McConnell" -- I'm sure they'll have a fair and balanced discussion about the Notre Dame Obama controversy. :eyes:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

7. I'm sure they've all had personal experience

with getting pregnant .......................

[rwheeler31]

8. No one wants to do this.

[EFerrari]

9. I may force myself to watch CNN and ABC to hear the talking points.

I don't think I can do Faux.

[csziggy]

10. This is far too one sided! Who do we complain to at the FCC?

OK, looking at the FCC Consumer Complaint site - http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

-Broadcast (TV and Radio), Cable, and Satellite Issues
--Unauthorized, unfair, biased, illegal broadcasts (does NOT include Obscene, Profane or Indecent material)
---Online Complaint Form!

My message to the FCC:

Every news organization, both broadcast and cable, have for years shown an overwhelming bias towards Republican or conservative guests for political segments. This has been documented: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/28/cable-news-stimulus/

The May 16, Sunday Morning TV show guests just continue this bias - 7 Republican guests, 3 Democratic guests, one presumed liberal (ACLU) and two unidentified affiliation. http://www.miamiherald.com/776/story/1050657.html

Some balance should be shown. The news media used to claim that their Republican bias was since the Republicans were in charge. If that were true, then the balance should now shift so that it would be two Democratic guests for each Republican.

I only complain since this bias have been evident for years and years with no change. If we need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine to restore the objectivity of our news media, then I will start writing my Congress people.

Thank you for your time.

12. You vote....with your remote. If you watch it, they figure you like it. NT

[csziggy]

21. Oh, I've been voting - today I'm watching NASA TV

And the astronauts working on Hubble. While I sometimes watch the Sunday morning shows, more often than not, I don't because of the slanted coverage. And I watch them less and less than I used to.

[depakid]

11. And they wonder why they're becoming irrelevant....

[northernlights]

13. on June 12th my old teevee expires

I'll have this morning's programs on as long as I can stomach them while cleaning my house.

I'm grateful for their crappy programming. It makes my weaning so much easier.

[HelenWheels]

14. A few are worth while

Anthony Romero, Katrina vanden Heuvel and maybe Fareed Zakaria.

[Catshrink]

16. Can't wait to see Katrina vanden Heuvel take on the ChEEney spawn.

Katrina will wipe the floor with her.

[annabanana]

18. ChEEney won't let her get a word in edgewise... she'll interrupt and

talk over and raise her voice like the spoiled entitled brat that she is.

[Catshrink]

19. Sadly, you're probably right.

I hope Georgie will tell her to STFU and let others talk. Yeah, like she'd listen.

[PassingFair]

23. It's a good thing she's so FARKIN' good looking, or our side wouldn't ....

be given ANY room at the table.

[angstlessk]

15. I was going to say they have dug up all the reight wing loonies....then...

I remembered...that is all that is left in the repuglican party...reight wing loonies!!! :puke:

[Mari333]

17. Dumped my TV to save my blood pressure. nt

[CBR]

20. I have started watching ESPN on Sunday mornings.

Outside the Lines and Sports Reporters are great shows.

[PassingFair]

22. Lawrence O'Donnell kicked ass on McLaughlin Report, though....

He's my current hero...and I did not know that he
was married to Kathryn Harrold and was a writer
for the West Wing....

along with Eleanor Clift,
Jon Stewart and, of course,
Stephen Colbert.
